The ASSESSMENT LAWS are farther
to have their constitu'ionality tested by
suits brought by Walter Bacon, Esq !,
and John M. Freiz slten against the
members OF the Levy Court OF New
Castle County, charged with disfrsn-
chising them In taking from them the
right OF suffrage by not giving them
full aud ample opportunity of quality
iDg as electors under the law. This is
q part OF the same laid-out program by
which suits for the same purpose were
brought last fall against Tax Collector
Patrick Nesry. OF course the suits
reach farther back than the Levy Court,
the collectors sui the assessors. They
are only the executive officers of the
Law, passed in 1873, which made 1t OBJ.

WE AGREE with our evening con.
tenn porAry that the State Legislature
should patch no more at the Old S ATE
House, but proceed ~ once to build o
new one that will be real credit TO the
Stale. The State o wns the ground upon
which S ate House could be built and
has surplus revenue ont CT which to
build 1t, and 1t should proceed immedi-
ately to make preparations Tor building.
The system OF patching up the old State
House every few years leaves us with
an old antiqusted building, entirely In.
adequate for the purposes intended and
half century behind this age Of mod.
ern improvements.

The Democratic fraud In Indiana has
ut last illuminated in the election OF
Judge Turpie to the United States Sem
ate. He will presen; his credentials to
the next Senate whenever 1t meets
after the fourth Of mex. Msrcb, and
according to all precedeuts in such
cases he will be sworn In and his right
to O seat tested after wards Fortu-
natelY there will be Republl can ma
jority in the Senate that, II Is believed,
will not pass over in silence this out
rage upon the rights OF the people OF
Indiana and upon common honesty.
The Democratic mel orlty In the Indiana
Legislature was man ufactured by the
boldess kind OF fraud. The State
Senate OF Indiana has 81 Democratic
and 10 Republican members. By this
large msjlri.y tbs Democrats were
enabled to seat two mem ers who were
returned by altering the figures on the
tally sheets after the OHIO plan, and by
the admission OF these two State Sena.

gave him great advantage. With thu

by forgery spd fraud, Turpie woult
only have had 70 votes. Harrison woul(
have had rs, and of the Labor vote
there were three Republicans who q
any time could as easily have elected
Harrison 50 the one Democratic Lab1

from this, the Republican Lieut0an
Governor-elea. was prevented by th
revolutionary tactics OF tbs Dem ocratI,

by tbs Republicans we're deprived 0

Rev. David Berion and Elders Spencer

AN OFFICIAL FISH STORY.
How Captain Lanescord Was Killed by a
SworG-Eish.


CFrom the Washington star, July2J
4 bulletin Of the United States FisE
Commission just issued gives the follow
ing account, as described IL q letter tc
Professor BAIRD, OF the killing Of a man
by a sword-hsh:
s'The schooner Venus is a small vesseI
of about twelve tons, owned and com.
manaed by Franklin D. Lanssford, c:
Lanesville, aIaSs., with crcw OF three
men, engagct; IN the general fisheries of
the coast OF iIassachusetts. On Monday
morning, August 8, Captain Langsford
sailed from home n pursuit OF sword.
fish. About II O'Clock in the morning,
when eight miles northeast from Haibut
Point, IN Ipswich Bay, fish was seen.
The captain, with one man, taking 9
dory, gave chase, and soon harpoone6
the fish, throwing over a buoy with 3
line attached to the Harroon, attcr whicl
the fish vas LETT apG they return to the
vessel for dinner. About an hour latei
the captain, with one man, again took
his dory and went out to secure the iish.
Picking up tie buoy, Captain Langsford
took hold OF the line, pulling his boa;
toward the svordfsh, which was quite
large and not badly wounded. The line
was taut as the boat slowly 1eared the
fish, which the Captain intended to lance
and thus kill /. When near the fish,
but too far away to reach It with the
lance, It quickly turned and rushed at
and under the boat, thrusting its sword
its sword up through the bottom OF the
boat twenty-three inches. As the fish
turned and rushed toward the boat the
line was suddenly Stacked, causing the
Captain to fall over on his back; and
while ne was in the act OF rising the
sword came piercing through the boat
and into his body. At this time another
swordfsh was in sight near by, and the
Captain, excited and anxious to secure
both, raised himself UP, not knowing
that he was wounded. Seeing the sword,
he seized it, exclaiming, We've got him,
anway' He lay in the bottom OF the
dory, holding East to the sword until his
vessel came alongside, while the fish, be-
ing under the boat, could not be reach
ed. Soon the Captain said, I think l
am hurt, and quite badly" When the
vessel arrived he went on board, took a
few steps, and fell, never rising again.
The boat and fish were soon hoisted on
board, when the sword was chopped Oil
to free the boat, and the fish was killed
on the deck OF the vessel. The fish
weighed 245 pounds after its head and
tail were cut off and the viseera removed;
when alive it weighed something over
300 pounds. Captain Langsford sur
vived the injury about three days, dying
on Thursday, August y Of peritonitis.
The sword has been deposited in the
United States National Museum. "
